Be A Tree
(Item #2018, Art - Paintings)
Oil on canvas ( 16"W x 16"H) part of the series "Natural Abstractions" 2008.
Biography: Shelley Cowan's inspiration stems from the natural world while being strongly based in myth and imagination. Bombastic colors and a Fauvist treatment are hallmarks of her signature style. After studying in art history at Ottawa University, she left Ontario in the early 1990s to continue her studies out West. An apprenticeship under Master painters, Colin Griffinson and Gabriel Von Ursus, gave Shelley the foundation to explore as a painter in both representational and non-representational work often making a practice of including both these styles in her work. A past member of the Gallery Gachet artist collective, she has fine-tuned a voice that has been described as both visionary and technically savvy. Shelley's work is in collections and galleries all around the world, most recently Lyon, New York, Boston, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.
